Nintendo Switch 2 is getting more expensive in the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan
Nintendo is increasing Switch 2 prices globally due to a memory chip shortage impacting hardware costs.
The US will see a $50 hike to $499.99 from September 1.
Japan faces an earlier, steeper increase.
This comes as Nintendo anticipates a sales slowdown for the console, despite its strong initial performance.
